Set Hong Kong-style mango jelly served chilled with evaporated milk and fresh mango slices on top.

Ingredients

  • 700g firm tofu
  • 2 cups egg noodles
  • 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp chili oil
  • 2 tbsp neutral vegetable oil
  • a generous handful of napa cabbage
  • a handful of fresh scallion greens, chopped
  • oyster sauce, to taste
  • 500ml pork stock

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven (or set up your steamer or frying station) and lightly grease your pan or molds with toasted sesame oil.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the egg noodles and chili oil until evenly combined.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, blend the black vinegar with the pork stock until smooth and well incorporated.

  4. 4

    Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, taking care not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Transfer everything to your prepared pan or molds and cook — bake, steam, chill, or fry — until set, about 5 mins.

  6. 6

    Remove from the heat and let it cool completely; this helps the texture firm up perfectly.

Tips

This keeps well for a couple of days in an airtight container, and the flavor often improves overnight.

Bring your black vinegar to room temperature before mixing for a smoother, more even texture.

For the cleanest slices, chill the finished dessert thoroughly before cutting.
